NASA's Juno space mission has given us a plethora of knowledge about the largest planet in the solar system since its initial landing on Jupiter in 2016. In particular, the public has been able to view amazing images of Jupiter thanks to its JunoCam, which beams back photos acquired by the probe. One picture from Juno's 25th flyby of the planet—known as a perijove—has drawn special attention from NASA. Two tiny streaks that travel up Jupiter from top to bottom are what instantly catch the eye.
Which stripes are these? These bands have been observed by researchers since Juno's initial near flyby in 2016. These are "layers of haze particles that float over the underlying cloud characteristics," according to NASA. Their location may help us understand their composition and formation, although scientists aren't entirely sure. This image shows two jet streams in Jupiter's atmosphere on either side of the lines. According to some scientists, the haze's creation may have been influenced by these jet streams.

This image is one of many that the JunoCam has processed from RAW data. These images are frequently released by NASA, and anyone can process them and send them back to the agency. Gerald Eichstädt, a citizen scientist who worked on this image, frequently contributes, and his superb work helps turn the RAW photographs into something the general public would find visually appealing. Actually, another picture from Perijove 25 is just as beautiful. It displays an up-close view of Jupiter's whirling clouds and was processed by Eichstädt and Seán Doran, another frequent contributor. You can view additional final images or attempt your own post-production by visiting NASA's dedicated Juno webpage.
